    Hi all, 
    I would appreciate any advice on getting a walla going that hasn't been started in 20 odd years. I must admit I don't know squat about the flatheads. Besides battery, fresh oil & fuel I'm hoping you guys can give me some tips. The bike was apparently running before being left all this time. I'm looking forward to restoring & getting her back on the road. Thanks in advance

    Thanks chop
    Basically I'm not sure of what needs to be done starting a engine that's been sitting for so long. I don't want to do any damage. Is it just a case of flushing old gas & oil & trying to start it?

    Thanks hoodeng - informative post
    You've got me worried now...anyone want to buy a walla! Lol 
    Now I'm thinking getting it going should probably be left to someone that knows what they are doing 
    Any recommendations for someone in the Sydney area that works on flatheads?
